Okay…1st off…I wanted to say a HUMANGO HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL!!! (especially Rat) for critiquing me and helping me get my head straight and do this the CORRECT way!
Thank you so so SOOOOoo much! Means a lot to me.1.)I will srip the areas that are “burned through” and will seal it all and let it dry for a few days and then Base it again with wet coats.
2.)I will remove my “cloth” junk and buy the adhesive paint paper/film.
3.)I will Clear coat the WHOLE Quarter AND the whole pillar all the way to the front (as suggested) NO fading the Clear!
…because I got the idea of fading the Clear Coat using Blender here: [color=#4400ff]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vts4fJn6-6U[/color]and here: [color=#ff0000]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T8gbQ1iYkU[/color]
**I couldn’t find the RM Blender so I bought the DuPont Blender**
So RAT told me that I didn’t use a hardener in my Basecoat. What kind of hardener should I have used? (DuPont)?
..**also, HOW do I properly use the Hardener? How much do I mix in? Just a teeny-bit?**
**reason I’m asking is because the supplier where I buy all this stuff is not customer friendly and doesn’t know JACK SQUAT about painting** 🙁 :chairAlso Is PPG better than DuPont? (easier to work with?) Becase I also have a PPG supplier near me…haven’t heard of any other brands..
And YES…the car is mine… not customers. 😛
and one more thing….can you guys give me links or suggest where I can find Good DVD’s that teach how to Paint & do all other shop stuff properly?
I’m a fast learner and I’m very eager to learn, but I have no money/time for school right now 🙁 So want to learn on my own. (And Of course with YOUR guys’s help) 😀 😀Also….can you guys PLEEEZE give me a list of all the best compatible products to you?
What do you guys use?
What brand and type of:
PRIMER?
SEALER?
BASECOAT?
CLEARCOAT?
BLENDER?Now I learned from you that DuPont is one of the WORST Basecoats to use…Thank You for teaching me that!
Please let me know what is the best option to use regarding solvents?
Thanks in advance..WEll…I have to learn sometime…and maybe that time is now.
And like some wise man said once: We learn from our mistakes, so we won’t do them again.You have NO IDEA how MUCH stuff I just learned from all the post that are above!
I just want to say HUGE THANK YOU to all!!!!And All you Pro’s: thank you! thank you! thank you! for being so patient with me!
I know how frustrating it is to teach a N00b something elementary that you’ve learned 20 years ago 🙁And someday I want to get to your guy’s level…and the only way to do so..is to learn from the best (you guys).
Thank you for replies.
More suggestions are welcome!WHAT should I do now guys?
And HOW would I go about fixing this problem?
Please guide me step-by-step.
What do I do next from here?

I never went to school for it…but I always had huge passion towards painting and am learning on my own… :SI’m including pictures with expanations of my Step-by-Step process and mess-ups that I had and what I “tried” to do to fix them.
Please Look through and GUIDE me on what I did wrong…and What I SHOULD have done and HOW I should have done it (The CORRECT Way) :cheers
